Late fall in the neighborhoods east of the river, the silver maples let go all at once, and a lawn can vanish under leaves in one windy night. HJ Contracting LLC handles that turn and everything after it — mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanup work, then plowing, shoveling and ice control once the valley settles into gray. Gravel drives and old grades are common on these streets, and clearing them takes a feel for exactly where the blade should ride. The payoff is a property that keeps working through the hardest month of the year: leaves gone, walks open, pavement scraped down clean. Around here, that counts for a great deal.
